This is a fairly good movie, but the most remarkable thing about is that plot elements of this movie appear in the pulitzer prize winning book Lonesome Dove, written by Larry McMurtry.
The two main characters in this movie and their journey from texas to montana is very similar to the plot of lonesome dove.
I believe that the screenwriter who wrote the screenplay for this movie, James Lee Barrett, hired mcmurtry to write (or co-write) the screenplay for this movie. I believe that barrett also used mcmurtry to write the screenplay for the movie Bandolero, which is even more similar to lonesome dove than is this movie.
Also, mcmurtry may have helped write the screenplay for Shenandoah, another movie which credits barrett as screenwriter.
Mcmurtry wrote a book called Film Flam, which was all about hollywood, and this book shows that mcmurtry had extensive experience writing for hollywood.
